Dehradun: Voting for the three-tier panchayat elections in 12 districts of Uttarakhand will be held in two phases on July 10 and 15, with results to be declared on July 19. The state election commission issued the poll notification on Friday, enforcing the model code of conduct in rural areas. Commissioner of state election commission Sushil Kumar said the notification will be issued by all district magistrates on June 23. Nominations will be accepted from June 25 to 28, with scrutiny scheduled from June 29 to July 1. Candidates can withdraw nominations on July 2. The symbol allocation for the first phase will be held on July 3, with voting from 8am to 5pm on July 10. For the second phase, the symbol allocation will take place on July 8, and voting will be conducted on July 15. Counting of votes for both phases will be held on July 19. Kumar said, "There are 47.7 lakh voters, out of which 24.6 lakh are male and 23.1 lakh female. For the first time in panchayat elections in the state, the category of Others has been added to the voter list. A total of 374 voters are enrolled in this category." In 2019, the voter count stood at 43.2 lakh, indicating an increase of 4.5 lakh voters. Polling will be held in 89 development blocks to elect 66,418 representatives — including 55,587 gram panchayat members, 7,499 pradhans, 2,974 block members and 358 zila panchayat members. A deployment of 95,909 govt employees and 5,620 vehicles has been arranged for poll duty. Ballot papers will be used in the elections. The colour codes for ballot papers will be: white for gram panchayat members, green for pradhan, blue for block development committee members and pink for zila panchayat members. The spending limit for candidates has been capped at Rs 10,000 for gram panchayat members, Rs 75,000 for pradhan and block development committee members, and Rs 2 lakh for zila panchayat members. In May, Uttarakhand high court had directed the state govt to finalise the election schedule, noting the continued appointment of outgoing panchayat heads as administrators instead of holding polls on time. Under the 73rd constitutional amendment, panchayat elections must be held every five years, with mandatory seat reservations for women and marginalised communities.
